DRUMLINE (Theatrical Release Germany 2004)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì 

Drumline—fresh, creative, original—builds appreciation for orchestras who perform at sports events, the talent needed, the rigorous discipline, and the teamwork necessary to build an A-1 marching band. The movie packs a punch with its well-written, meaningful storyline and terrific conclusion. Watch for Nick Cannon’s terrific performance as well as Orlando Jones’ excellent interpretation of his acting role. One wonders why Jones is not in the public eye more often. He has 76 credits on IMDb, but one rarely hears about him in film or TV.
